Design Like Mad - 24 Hour Design Marathon

After experiencing the inaugural Design Like Mad event in Madison in 2014, I brought the idea to Milwaukee. In the Spring of 2015 I organized a 12-hour "Design Marathon" to benefit local non-profits along with co-organizer Jillian Duckwitz and a talented team of volunteers. Design Like Mad MKE brought together 65+ designers, developers, and copywriters to donate 12 hours of design work to 24 area nonprofits, with a final value of over $40,000.

More recently, Jill and I shared our experiences and a refined process outline with a new team who has rebooted the idea locally as DesignMil.

In•Season Pop-Up Dinner

, ,

In•Season is a seasonal pop-up dinner hosted out of my home in Brewer's Hill. Featuring dishes from the minds of Milwaukee's top emerging chefs and produce from local farms, In•Season is a synthesis of experimental cuisine and experiential dining. As the primary driver behind In•Season, I organize, promote, and host the events, working closely with the chefs to showcase their vision and make sure everything runs smoothly.
